The return of colour, from the RAL to the NCS scale

There’s no more room for the usual grey – you need a colourful and lively, yet elegant and stylish bathroom design! Thanks to the RAL scale and the NCS scale system, you can choose the perfect shade for your bathroom furniture in the best possible way.

Bathroom colours

The word RAL stands for Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen. The latter is the name of the German Reich Committee for Terms and Conditions of Sale, established in 1925 by the Weimar Republic. It is a term we use today mainly to denote and define the colour scale used in paint and coatings.

The NCS scale is different from the RAL scale. NCS stands for Natural Color System. This designation takes the form of a logical colour sorting mechanism, which helps to define and recognise the various shades currently available.

The return of colour in the bathroom, a detail that enhances any environment

Nowadays the NCS system and the RAL scale are increasingly used to offer finishes and coverings in different colours, partly because colour is “coming back into fashion”. In fact, it never really went away, especially for bathroom furniture. However, in recent years the focus has mainly been on the grey scale and sometimes also on white and wood colour, leaving aside the many colour shades available.

The latest trends tell us of a flawless and functional design that we can make even better by selecting attractive shades. Want to see some examples? Take a look at our Demodè, Ellittica 1, Modì and Boheme lines. We at GAIA can’t wait to satisfy your desire for colour in your bathroom!

Which colours can you choose for your bathroom furniture, thanks to the RAL scale and the NCS scale?

The innovative NCS system is based on the different shades of white, red, yellow, black, green and blue. The RAL scale, which is widely used in the coatings and paints industry, allows you to choose from 2000 different shades. Thanks to these scales you can find the nuance that best suits your style. The colour is no longer an outline of the room, but defines its character, making it refined and original and fully reflecting the personality of the person living in it.
